Igor is pictured above on The Mall which is where the race started and finished
and along which several laps were walked.
Yerokhin competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing but tested positive
for prohibited substances and was subsequently disqualified for two years.
But more !
In August 2013 the Russian Athletics Federation announced that Yerokhin had
received a further ban after abnormal haematological profile indicators were found
on his biological passport. He received a life ban and was stripped of all his results
since 25 February 2011. This included his 5th-place finish at the 2012 Summer
Olympic Games.
Sergey KIRDYAPKIN later lost the gold medal for using drugs and
Sergey BAKULIN made it a hat trick of Russian cheats.
At the 2016 Rio Olympic Games all Russian athletes were banned.
